That was the first thing I've checked. Sorry, I obviously forgot to
mention that in my initial bug report.

Combinig
    Option "DRI" "off"
and
    Option "NoAccel" "true"
doesn't help either.


I've tried to boot Windows XP on the machine and it works correctly,
this probably rules out hardware failure.

I also tried:
    Option "R4xxATOM" "true"
(_also_ together with DRI off and NoAccel true) but it didn't help too.
